Formation of lower-hybrid solitary structures by modulational interaction between lower-hybrid and dispersive Alfvén waves

We investigate the possibility that lower-hybrid solitary structures (LHSS), which are frequently observed in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, are formed as a result of a modulational interaction between lower-hybrid and dispersive Alfvén waves of initially small amplitude....
